SUGAR LAND, Texas -- Sugar Land's mayor is the latest victim of a driveway robbery in his city, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Sugar Land police said the robbery happened at Mayor James Thompson's home on Hodges Bend Circle at about 8 p.m. Tuesday. He had just returned home from a City Council meeting.

Thompson said he was confronted when he went to get something out of the back seat of his car.

"I felt a tap on my back shoulder and I turned around and I had a gentleman standing there with a pistol in my face," Thompson said. "He demanded money. I asked him to please calm down and he told me he was going to shoot me if I kept turning around and looking at him."

Thompson said the robber ordered him to climb underneath his car.

"I went around to the back of the car and I slid underneath the car. I heard him running away. I immediately got out from underneath the car, went in the house and called 911."

The man got away with about $80 cash and Thompson's cellular phone and other belongings. Thompson said he was able to keep his credit cards after he accidentally dropped them on the ground.

"I'm really mad about it. I'm really mad that it happened in Sugar Land," Thompson said. "I was scared to death. I still am."

Thompson said he didn't get a good look at the robbery, but investigators said it may be connected to another driveway robbery last week.

On Nov. 11, a man was robbed at gunpoint in his driveway in the Meadow Lakes subdivision. A composite sketch of the robbery suspect was released in that crime.

A $5,000 reward is being offered in the case. Call Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS (8477).
